AMD announces Microsoft Cloud computing Partner

As one of the fastest-growing countries in the world, China is increasingly becoming one of AMD's global strategic priorities. September 2004, AMD's Greater China region was formally established in Beijing, AMD Global vice President Guo Kejun as president and general manager of AMD Greater China, governance amd in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan region of all business, and further grasp the "China opportunity."

AMD pioneered the introduction of high-performance and seamless transplant 32-bit, 64-bit computing advantage of the technology, with the support of partners, AMD took the lead in the Chinese market to launch 64-bit calculation. In the 2005, AMD reopened the industry precedent, launched a dual-core processor.

AMD's customers and business partners have been all over China, covering scientific research, education, telecommunications, meteorology, oil exploration and other industries, AMD products by the Chinese market and users of the widely affirmed.
In China, AMD has established alliances with a number of OEM manufacturers, including Lenovo, Tsinghua Violet, Shuguang, Fangjia, China Branch Dream Orchid and other Chinese companies, as well as HP, IBM, Sun and other global leading computer manufacturers.

In order to achieve a better vision, grasp the "China opportunity", AMD create one after another brilliant. In addition, "AMD" in Chinese means "Nana's" (A Ma De), so AMD's CPU is called "Granny's Chip" by some Chinese.

AMD announced yesterday that it would provide four core AMD Opteron processors for the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference (PDC) Windows Azure Cloud Computing Services operating system as an operational support, while becoming the world's leading network company Strato and Daum The processor key partner for communications cloud computing solutions. The Cloud computing Job Environment (CCE) provides high capacity and performance opportunities under the constraints of software, people, and infrastructure. With the Quad core AMD Opteron processor with virtualization (AMD-V) technology and a direct-link architecture with excellent per-watt cost performance, it can withstand heavy peak workloads without sacrificing performance, support large-scale cloud computing, and cloud computing environments based on global network requirements (CCE) Should be run all day (24 hours/7 working days) for all sizes of enterprises.

Margaret Lewis, director of AMD's business software and solutions division, says the cloud computing environment (CCE) has the most demanding user peak load performance and scalability while balancing costs and energy. Using the AMD Opteron four core processor to support a highly demanding cloud computing environment can successfully highlight the powerful performance of AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technologies and the enormous advantages of direct link architectures.

Microsoft Chief Software Engineer Ray Ozzie in a keynote speech at the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference (PDC) in 2008, announcing the release of the Community Technology Preview version of the cloud computing services operating system Windows Azure Compute Service, Windows Azure is a highly optimized cloud computing service platform. The AMD Opteron processor has a second-level address translation (also known as Fast Virtualization Index) feature that enables Microsoft to achieve its efficient, low-cost virtual host target while satisfying data center requirements for power consumption.

Earl Stahl, vice president of AMD Software Development, said the AMD Opteron four core processor was the only processor capable of meeting Microsoft's design goals at the beginning of Microsoft's collaboration with AMD. For demanding cloud computing environments, the strong performance of AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology and the advantages of direct link architectures clearly demonstrate the leadership of the AMD Opteron processor.

AMD's incredible price/performance per watt and scalability to attract global customers

With the growing mainstream of the cloud computing Environment (CCE), and the increasing number of software being viewed as a service provider, AMD continues to work with Global leadership partners and network companies to provide more energy-efficient, scalable, and performance-saving computing support for today's evolving IT environment.

Strato, Europe's second-largest network service provider, has now expanded its virtualization and dedicated server product line with the AMD Opteron he four core processor to help achieve business development and green computing goals. For companies like Strato to run cloud computing environments (CCE), the benefits of resource consolidation can reduce energy consumption, improve utilization, and manage efficiencies. The AMD Opteron four core processor can help businesses expand their scale and productivity in accordance with demand, thereby increasing their competitive advantage and market niche.

Strato rechenzentrum AG Technology Julien Ardisson says we are using the AMD Opteron he four core processor because of its outstanding system-level performance, revolutionary innovation capabilities, and excellent per-watt cost advantage.

DAUM Communications is one of South Korea's largest portal sites, using the AMD Opteron four core processor for its next-generation network Search service Infrastructure server processor. Daum is a primary service provider for email, search, news, shopping, chat, and other applications that require the use of cloud computing Environments (CCE). Daum chooses to install more than 1000 server systems with AMD processors as one of its strategies to improve service quality to win competitive advantage, in order to stand out in the changing Korean online service market.

Fast virtualization Indexing (RVI) enhances the benefits of the cloud computing Environment (CCE)

The AMD Opteron four core processor features fast virtualization indexing (RVI) technology, enhanced cloud computing Environments (CCE), and demanding workload performance advantages such as network services. One of the key features of AMD virtualization Technology (AMD-V) is that RVI improves the conversion efficiency of virtual addresses to physical addresses by performing functions at the hardware layer, thereby shortening the switching time between virtual hosts. When the additional address translation layer generated by virtualization is performed by hardware rather than software resources, complex memory management in virtualized environments can be simplified. RVI helps improve the cycle of system management programs that are caused by virtualization, and hence the reduced effectiveness.
